Abstract
An embodiment provides enhanced security for printing of print jobs in networked printing systems and the like. In one example, a print system terminal includes a processing circuit and a communication interface to connect to a print system server. The processing circuit is configured to receive, from an input unit, a selection of a selected file to be printed by a printer of a print system and acquire print release setting information for the selected file. The processing circuit then outputs the print release setting information and other information corresponding to the selected file to the print system server.

A print system terminal, comprising:
- a communication interface to connect to a print system server;
- and
- a processing circuit configured to:
- receive, from an input unit, a selection of a selected file to be printed by a printer of a print system;
- acquire print release setting information for the selected file;
- and
- output the print release setting information and information corresponding to the selected file to the print system server.
A print system, comprising:
- a print system terminal;
- a print system server;
- and
- a printer networked with the print system server, wherein
- the print system terminal includes:
- a communication interface to connect to the print system server, and
- a processing circuit configured to:
- receive, from an input unit, a selection of a selected file to be printed by the printer,
- acquire print release setting information for the selected file, and
- output the print release setting information and information corresponding to the selected file to the print system server;
- the print system server includes a storage unit configured to store information related to the selected file, the information related to the selected file including the print release setting information;
- and
- the printer is configured to:
- acquire the information related to the selected file from the print system server, and
- execute a job corresponding to the selected file according to the print release setting information for the selected file.
A print system information processing method, comprising:
- receiving a selection of the file to be printed from a print system terminal;
- acquiring print release setting information for the selected file from the print system terminal;
- outputting the acquired print release setting information from the print system terminal to a print server networked to a printer;
- storing information related to the selected file in a storage unit of the print server, the information related to the selected file including the print release setting information;
- acquiring the information related to the selected file at the printer from the print system server;
- and
- executing a job at the printer corresponding to the selected file according to the print release setting information for the selected file.
